Erica Lam, the founder and editor-in-chief of thestylespy.com looks at the colour grey, a staple in wardrobes this fall. With so many shades, grey is versatile, clean and understated. Here, Lam gathers a few of her favourite grey pieces, from the classic to the unexpected.

Just go left

We think we can see our favourite Gossip Girl wearing this super-soft cotton and silk blend sweater dress by Left on Houston. Modern and sophisticated, the white pipe lining and oversized buttons give the classic sweater dress a new spin. Better yet, Left on Houston is a Canadian brand created by the husband and wife team of Danny and Carla Hogg, the masterminds behind Gentle Fawn.

Say yes to sequins

With party season fast approaching, every lady should have a killer pair of heels on standby. This sequin number from the Vianni Collection at Sterling Shoes will add sparkle to any outfit. Irresistibly bold, these four-inch-high heels (there's a hidden platform) are instant showstoppers.

Accessories are the quickest way to pop out an outfit, and these lux leather driving gloves from Aldo will definitely add a sexy edge to your look. Leather is big this season -- in leggings, dresses and motorcycle jackets. This fun accessory will let you know play off the trend without breaking the bank.

Cosy up to fall

A simple style statement and can we say, practical too! This long, charcoal chunky knit scarf by MRena is one of this season's must-haves. Made of 100-per-cent wool, this eye-catching piece is the perfect accessory to update a look.

Who knew grey nail polish could be so chic? It's a modern alternative to the typical shades of nude and beige. Concrete Jungle by Rescue Beauty Lounge is a soft dove grey colour with a blue undertone. Created by famed manicurist Ji Baek (she has two luxury nail salons in New York), this shade is subtle yet striking. The cool polish itself applies easily, smoothly and dries quickly.

Don't be afraid to invest in an amazing winter coat, as it will last for years to come. This angora Wilfred Cocoon Funnel Neck Coat will keep you warm and toasty, and we love its simple retro-chic design. Tip on buying a coat: Always consider what you plan to wear underneath to ensure the coat isn't too snug.

A little bit rock Ôn' roll

Made of soft-grained Italian leather, the Rebecca Minkoff Stud Roadie will add a cool edge to any outfit. With hand-plated stud detailing and multiple compartments, the spacious but compact bag has ample space for your daily essentials and can be worn over the shoulder or cross-body. A celebrity favourite, Rebecca Minkoff's designs have been seen on some of Hollywood's most stylish, including Sarah Jessica Parker and Rachel Bilson.
